GG to Ohio St

[Vowelguy]

Not negative speculation. Just wondering if there is some obligation, contract, or other issue that has become difficult to resolve. Everything I was hearing from within the B1G was things were moving forward efficiently and quickly.

Story going around is that
She got wind that Ohio st was interested in walz and said sayonara.

Dumb move by buckeyes since I don't see walz wanting to leave and Lou giving him a salary bump.

I agree, stupid move by tosu.

If that is the situation it is a shame.

no millstone around her neck she just did not come accross well with the Texas die hard fans since day#1. Demoss was the only coach on the staff we could relate too. and she neither could recruit in state talent. we are very very happy with who we have now. from what me and many other say was just a not so friendly personality and just a coach who was not a people person.

Rumors are back again - this is from last night....

@wbballhoopscoop: Strong rumors flying that Gail Goestenkors will be named the new HC at Ohio State. Negotiations are being finalized & deal should be soon.

Doesn't seem like anyone really knows what's going on....

I read this yesterday...

Granted I do not know his sources or how credible the writer is.

 

[Blueballer]

From the USC message board this morning. (USC is another possible landing spot for GG)

"It is being tweeted that Goestenkors is back in negotiations with OSU after they failed to get Louisville's HC. This may explain the delay in announcing our HC. "

So the revolving negotiating door continues.....

I actually like this for her, it's not a tough place to recruit like Texas was, and if I recall she had very good luck at recruiting on the East coast, and mid-west. I like this hire.

How is Texas a tough place to recruit?

 

[OneTrickPony]

Yeah, and that UConn women's fans only like the white players.

Seriously...?

 

[EricLA]

How is Texas a tough place to recruit?

Not necessarily tough for someone with ties to their AAU scene, or someone with deep southern roots, but she grew up in Michigan, attended college in Michigan, and coached at Iowa State, Purdue and Duke. She really had no personal ties or experience in Texas or the south. I'm guessing Coler meant that recruiting in Texas was tough for GG, not tough necessarily in general. Mulkey and Blair have done pretty well there.

Looks like GG may have learned to play Hold-em while in the Lone Star State...

Per a tweet I read, Cynthia Cooper to USC

That would tend to support the validity of GG to TOSU...wonder if this all happened too fast for Walz to cash in...?

I loved Coop while in Houston...she was absolutely dominant in the games I attended...

 

[rocky rococo]

Walz can cash in on where he earned the cash, with a second trip to the NC game. No one can say it was just Angel any more.

 

[Phil]

Yeah, and that UConn women's fans only like the white players.

That's true of me...except road games when I like the blue players.

 

[Biff]

Well at least you are honest about it!

This makes sense. Would think they would give Cynthia a shot at her alma mater. Good for her.

Should be interesting. They dont even have to change the name on the coaches door..just the first initial.

Give them oxygen.

Walz has repeatedly said he's not going anywhere. I think he's there until/if they don't want him anymore. Ville in the ACC now.

Not true. He said he's going to work in Geno's restaurant.
